This summer we've curated your Help I Have A Teenager playlist with a healthy dose of culture-savvy conversation parents actually want - Parenting Out Loud. The kids are at home, the holiday activities are seemingly endless and you probably need a break. So welcome back to the podcast that's not just any parenting podcast. On the show today: You're officially excused from ever attending your child's sport practice. Don't believe us? Just ask the professional soccer player Abby Wambach. Plus, are you an eldest daughter? Well, so is Taylor Swift and the birth order theory might explain a lot. And, magicians are having a moment. But this time it's not just for the kids. So get the girls over, put the kids to bed and enjoy some whimsy. And our recommendations:

Even though we're only five days into the new year, one of the standout shows for 2026 is the ABC adaptation of Shaun Tan's Tales from Outer Suburbia.

The focus is on the kids, but each time they return home, Lucy is there to tend to them and to set up their new life in outer suburbia.In the following interview, recorded ahead of the shows launch on ABC, Geraldine talks about the creative process of voicing Lucy, about how her varied roles throughout her career have influenced what choices she makes as a storyteller, and much more.Shaun Tan's Tales from Outer Suburbia is currently on ABC iView. Head along and give it a watch, it's a great show for kids and adults alike.If you like this chat with Geraldine, then make sure to check out my earlier conversation with Shaun Tan, or consider becoming a paid subscriber to listen to the conversation with director Noel Cleary.

Shaun Tan is many things. He's an Academy Award winning animator, he's an artist who has taken the fantastical to suburbia and made both feel real and otherworldly, and he's someone who has poured years into shaping personal stories into profound imagery. To me, he's more than just those things. He's someone who has translated what it means to live in Perth, what it means to grow up in a version of suburbia that spreads far beyond our horizon, and more importantly, what it means to grow up in a multicultural landscape like Perth, where the history of pearl divers in Broome can linger in the ochre brick homes of Wanneroo, or vacant lots become the home to giant oxen. This conversation with Shaun sees the artist open up about his work, the relationship with the suburbs, and how these aspects played into facilitating the translation of his acclaimed book Tales from Outer Suburbia into the new ABC animated series, Shaun Tan's Tales from Outer Suburbia. It hits ABC iView on 1 January 2026 and it's quite simply one of the most beautiful, humane, and family oriented animated series I've seen in a while. This is not just a show for kids, it's for people of all ages.Sign up for the latest interviews, reviews, and more via https://www.thecurb.com.au/subscribe/ Hosted on Acast.

In its current form, Old Habits is part of the ABC Compass series, but as you'll hear in this interview with Alfie Faber, he's working on expanding the short into a feature length documentary. And gosh, what a film it will be if he gets it to a feature length. Old Habits is a delight, utilising the charm and vibrancy of the Sisters to expand upon a hidden part of Australian queer history. Watching Old Habits reminded me of my conversation with Julie Peters about her documentary The Accidental Archivist. In that film, Julie talks about the self-documentation of queer history in Australia and discovering her place in the LGBTIQA+ community. Old Habits acts as an extension of the opening of queer history archives, ensuring that Australian queer history is accessible to future generations. To find out more about the Order of Perpetual Indulgence and its Sydney members, visit UniversalJoy.com.au. After discussing Old Habits, Alfie also talks about his podcast series Sound Perspective, an in depth series featuring interviews with creatives about the role of sound in films. I highly recommend listening to it. Make sure to also check out Final_Final_Locked from the Australian Screen Editors. Watch Old Habits on ABC iView here.

So get the girls over, put the kids to bed and enjoy some whimsy. And our recommendations:

This week on the podcast I am joined by Strongwoman competitor, Leigh Holland-Keen. As the name suggests, Leigh competes in what traditionally would be called Strongman competitions. How strong is Leigh? Well, in 2018 Leigh became the first woman in history to be awarded a clean lift of the Dinnie Stones.They are two legendary stones located in Scotland that less than 100 men have lifted in history.They weigh a combined total of (are you sitting down?) 332kg. That's 733lbs!Yes, you read that correctly —332kg Leigh was introduced to Strongman competitions by her step-father and was encouraged and inspired to compete by her mum. Leigh's mum was a pioneer of the sport of Strongwoman in Australia and found her strength through the sport after an abusive relationship in her younger years left her with profound PTSD.Leigh is one of four women featured in a documentary released in 2021 on ABC iView appropriately called “Strong Women”. You can find that series here. 

Aussie actor Richard Roxburgh is the voice behind the new documentary Killer Whale – Australia's Megapod, which you can check out now on ABC iView. Killer whales are seriously smart and the ones off the coast of Bremer Bay, WA, are full of surprises. During a chat about the doco, Lisa asked if there were any random facts about killer whales and one really stood out: these orcas actually have their own accent! Just like people from different regions sound different, these whales each have their own unique way of communicating. Researchers reckon there’s a lot more going on in their calls than we realise, and with the help of AI, they’re hoping to one day crack the code and understand what these incredible creatures are really saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, a little retribution for our listeners, Wippa gets a taste of his own medicine as the Pros & Cons game is turned on him! And who better to dish it out than possibly the most charitable woman in Sydney (and his very own wife) Lisa Wipfli. Lisa joins us to talk about Gift A Night, an incredible initiative from Ronald McDonald House. Right now, until 12pm on Friday, August 15, every dollar you donate will be doubled - head to giftanight.org.au to donate! We’re also joined by comedy legend Shaun Micallef to chat about his brand new show Shaun Micallef’s Eve of Destruction, now streaming on ABC iView. He also manages to completely derail our attempt at Brand Man in the most Shaun Micallef way. Plus, we dive into the ultimate nightly routine, bold moves to impress your crush, and the surprising demographic most addicted to their phones - it’s a packed episode you won’t want to miss!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know it took nearly two years from Ludo Studio putting finishing touches on The Sign, to actually getting that biggest ever Bluey episode onto our screens?? So really, the fact that Kate and Mary interviewed Bluey creator Joe Brumm after the The Sign dropped on Sunday, and now you're getting the episode on Wednesday - pretty quick turnaround!  Joe is back in the wagon to talk through his favourite ever Bluey episode, the only one that has involved every single member of the incredible production team, and the one that ripped out our hearts, ran them through a few rollercoasters, then cradled them back to where they belong.  Hear how Meg Washington's stunning Lazarus Drug came into the episode (and helped shape the ending), why Joe wrestled with who gets to be happy (fictional characters, definitely), a long history animating Dunk Island/ Ulysses butterflies (and following signs), and even a surprise in store next...   Oh and in case you missed the signs, this conversation has SPOILERS! The Sign and Ghostbasket are streaming now on ABC iView and globally on Disney+ and are glorious. ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Adelaide/ Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

Em befriended Lizzy Hoo a year ago while working at The Melbourne Comedy Festival's Great Debate. As you'll hear inside, it's been a while since they acted on their new found friendship, but at least when they eventually did, they invited us to be there to listen in, HUZZAH! Lizzy is a writer, equal parts noodle and pie enthusiast, designer, actor, sport enthusiast and a stand up comedian who recently hosted the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, which is now streaming on ABC iView. Inside she'll reveal how she and Em first met, why she did the pivot from her day job working as an account manager in marketing to becoming a full time stand up comedian. There's also her “successful” stint doing poetry recitals at Eisteddfods, her YouTube famous brother, her father being a lot like Em's Dad Vincie and her journey to a career in stand up. It's a delightfully funny ride that you'll thoroughly enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
